    @Torithom Off the top of my head, I'd say for-profit, VC backed social media will always chase all the money, so will take anyone as customers, no matter how distastefully fascist they are.

    @WTL yes, and is there a track record of running not for profit then changing model later on? Like with OpenAI? Meaning there needs to be more mechanisms shown from the beginning for added assurity when committing to a new platform.

      the topic here is substack which platforms actual literal nazis. the swastika prominently shown. this whole "you use that word too much" is a weird hill to die on when dealing with genuine nazis my friend

        A routine reminder that it's always a good idea to boycott #Substack.

        We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers

        No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.

        There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses

        we're policing our own platform, demanding tptb unNazi
        don't take away the income of many excellent journalists and progressive voices because you think we can't manage our own Nazis

              Another thing to mention

              Why do you all see 1 bad actor and instantly call something a Nazi bar? Some people there are just tryna make some cash no?

                so you replied to elena's post, about substack, which platforms nazis, to make a comment that has nothing to do with what you replied to?

                  well yes, the saying goes that if you go in a bar and there are nazis there, it's a nazi bar

                  do you know why that's a well known saying?

                    Because 1 bad actor is using something...it's bad now?

                    Nazis use encrypted communications, let's boycott those too then. No more matrix, xmpp, signal, etc because the Nazis use them!!!

                    You can't hate a platform because of the people mate, ignore the oddballs and use the platform for what it's meant for

                        What I said would also go to your little "logic 101 win then"

                        I use xmpp, I'm not a Nazi, Nazis use xmpp, I am using the same software and advocating for others to use it. Public mucs have Nazis because its encrypted and they are scared.

                        When you add your own rules to how something works you really start to break down your own argument....

                          You win! Using a tool that is the same kind of tool someone else uses is exactly the same thing as hanging out with them in a bar. Damn have I have been schooled
